1. “I started restoring a little over a year ago. I am still restoring. I primarily use T-taping, which is wrapping medical stretch tape around the targeted skin, and clipping a sheet-securing clip to the tape, with the other end wrapped around my body and clipped onto my waistband. This stretches the skin continuously through the day. I also use manual methods while I’m relaxing (watching a movie or what have you), in which I use my fingers to gently stretch my skin. Early on, I would use too much tension while T-taping. This would cause minor skin abrasions. Once I lessened tension, not only did the abrasions stop, but progress picked up.”
